Twelve-year-old Bone, whose Gift allows her to see memories in
everyday objects, must unearth her family's deepest secrets to find her
favorite, missing uncle. This supernatural historical mystery is the
final book in the critically-acclaimed and emotionally-resonant Ghosts
of Ordinary Objects trilogy.
In a southern Virginia coal-mining town in December 1942, Bone Phillips
is learning to control her Gift: seeing the history of a significant
object when she touches it. But one object is off limits: Uncle Ash's
World War I dog tags, which hold memories of terror. When a body
identified as Uncle Ash turns up inside the mines, Bone will need every
ounce of courage she can summon to not only find her beloved uncle
through the dog tags but prove that he isn't the thief the mine
supervisor claims he is. The Truce is the riveting conclusion to the
Ghosts of Ordinary Objects trilogy, with Bone facing her greatest
challenge yet.
